<h5 style="font-size:11pt; font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">Presentation Summary</h5>
We stand at the edge of a new paradigm in computing, brought about by the evolution of multi-core CPUs. Programmers have long left multi-threaded programming to the few diehards, while enterprise developers were able to live happily within a single thread. Those times are changing, and the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/concurrency/default.aspx">Parallel Extensions to the .NET Framework</a> are here to help. Come learn how Microsoft is innovating in this space, and how you can use this framework to bring your skills forward, after learning just a few simple rules.
